Mahakeerthi’s மஞ்சள் நீராட்டு விழா

For Mahakeerthi’s மஞ்சள் நீராட்டு விழா, we aimed to create a celebratory, colorful, and playful design that captured a sense of childlike wonder. Bold colors and dramatic shapes set the stage, blending with traditional elements like keethu, local flowers, and brass lamps to build a fantastical, surreal landscape. Instead of a flat backdrop, we used angled trussing to add depth and dimension, layering the space with vibrant details that invited guests to explore every corner. Cylindrical layers of traditional flowers like vadamalli, kozhikondai, and paneer rose were creatively paired with sleek origami props by Frigamiart Floftstudio , an unexpected combination that added to the whimsical atmosphere. Our goal was to create a wonderland, and it quickly became one of our favorite setups to date! Photographed by Varshithaa Govardan
